So the guy won waite go buddy nice kill; u were acting a little cocky but no less that other post i seen here where one of us beats a viper or, a lambo or something like that, so u beat a faster car by putting money in ur car, good for u nice kill. Man how many of us put work on our ls1 to make em faster, ha?? so he bought the car he liked he worked on it to make it faster and he beat a faster car whats wrong with that, pls lets not trow the ricer arguments like o how much u pay for that thing o how much was that turbo come on guys thats rice talk.

You do realize f-bodies are in the same autocross class as the STI's, EVO's etc. and dominate them, right? Sloppy boat? LMAO, his car would outhandle yours on any track out there. Stock.

I have 78K miles on mine, still running strong and everything works. Its a myth that these cars fall apart after 50K miles. Just pray you never run into me on the street, I wouldn't even turn my bottle on I won't need it

No, it's that the numbers don't add up. he only traps 113. No way is he going to pull 4 to 5 cars on a modded (now we find out it's only exhaust) LS1. He's exagerating. He probably pulled a car at most. Either that or something else is up with the story. I don't think people realize what 4 to 5 cars is. Not to mention he has the typical ricer attitude about V8's handling and breaking down which is totally false.

I think I had just over 110K on my LT1, and the only problems I had were the clutch and the damn EGR valve causing a SES. Other than that it was fine until I hit a jersey barrier LOL.

maybe his car doesn't have that little "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" message on the mirrors.....

j/k man, don't take it personal.....i'm a joka

RSX's are not bad looking little cars, and you've got a pretty fast one, but they're a little too small for my personal tastes....buy hey, to each their own, that's what makes this country great....

We hop onto the highway.....Around 45 we punch it....2nd gear Im even.....3rd I start pulling....by about 120 I had like 4-5 cars on the kid.....We did it again and got the same outcome......

I expected more out of a 5.7Liter torque MONSTER! He gave me props for my 2.0 Liter wrong wheel drive grocery getter, and we went out seperate ways....what a night
unless the driver stopped running you you would not put 4-5 cars from 45 to 120 thats total but then again anything can happen during a street race

I wanna start this off by saying that I'm pretty disgusted at what I'm seeing so far in this thread. Listen to yourselves. You all sound like the same whiny ricers that you make fun of constantly. The excuses I'm reading here are pitiful.

I wouldn't say much, considering that his car is faster than yours.

Who cares? He ran a close to stock LS1. If you see a crazy modded F-Body spanking a stock Viper you'll jerk off to it, but a modded RSX spanks a stock LS1 and you bash it? Gimme a break.

better watch it on that open deck, wouldn't want to pop it. vortech fmu or rising rate fpr? you're the man. i've never seen anybody strap a turbo on a honduh and think they are fast. .
Two traditional ricer arguments- The good old excuse and money arguments. You sir are a true ricer. Go ahead and buy a 5-foot wing for your car, you've earned it.

Stock LS1s trap 115mph? Right. Don't think I need to say anything about this post.

Another true ricer argument. "It doesn't matter if you're faster, because my car is prettier". Who cares? If you care about looks that much, you shouldn't be driving a catfish-faced LS1 Camaro.

Another example of the ricer style money argument.

Who cares? He killed a stock LS1, that's enough to get recognition on this board.

It's very possible that with a trap speed of 113mph he could have pulled several cars on a stock LS1. Where do you come off totally negating the race? Of course it could happen.

The original poster is not a troll and did not come into our forum posting a troll-like thread. He stated his kill, talked a little **** (which he earned the right to), and you guys jumped all over him for no reason other than his turbo Honda ate a stock LS1 from a roll. No reason at all to get on him for it.

Fast is fast, and although the car isn't crazy fast, he won the race, and that's everything. Money doesn't matter, looks don't matter, at the end of the confrontation he was the winner. He earned his right to talk a little ****, which he did with the final line of his original post.

Give the man his props and move on.

Nice kill.

What kinda crack you smokin'?

Stock ls1 Fbod: 103-109mph
Bolt-ons: 109-112mph

Vendetta....Get real. Post a kill on any other car board implying your ride is somehow > the featured car..... A little hint the reponses will likely be 80% negative. He came her looking to start trouble with the owner he raced, words from the horses mouth. By leaving out his significant mods in the thread title he also knew he would be able to start trouble with a group of ls1 owners calling BS.....

Joe's stand up. His car runs hard. Probably pulls up top more than all the sorry ***, trash talking, near stock ls1 turds cropping up on this thread.

He may have, but he didn't start any trouble. You fools did. So I don't know what you're trying to say here. He didn't say anything combative that required a response like those I quoted in my previous post.

LS1 owners shouldn't have called BS on him without first knowing the mods. The way I see it, you guys are guilty any way you look at it. You just can't justify the way the guys jumped on him like little ricers.
